Photo Caption:

Carte de Visites appeared around the latter half of the 19th century. This image shows a double-named CdV with Grace Darling written at one end and Ida Lewis at the other so a person could cut off whichever name they didn’t want depending on where the card was being sold. The image shows the face above and the back below.
